If there were any lingering doubts as to the veracity of SCOs claims,
the following ought to put them to rest:
Novell Challenges SCO Position, Reiterates Support for Linux
http://www.novell.com/news/press/archive/2003/05/pr03033.html
Summary: SCO does not own what they claim to have bought from Novell.
SCO's Big Lie

Summary: Perens editorial on the above announcement
Now, just supposing this does not cause a dismissal or counter suit,
check out Eric Raymond's point by point evisceration of their claims.
OSI Position Paper on the SCO-vs.-IBM Complaint

Summary: Long read, but very reassuring. Eric's knowledge and
understanding of the Unix genealogy is amazing.

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect
liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born
to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their
liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but
without understanding."
- Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. U.S. (1928)
